N Drawing. Application filed Tune 1', 1925, Serial 110. 3 4,258, and i nArgentina March 10, 1925.

The present invention relates to a motor fuel, and more particularly toa motor fuel capable of high efliciencies. I have found after longexperimentation 5 that a motor fuel comprising nitrophenol and ethergives clean combustion and no carbon deposit in the motor on use.Because of the clean combustion no carbonization occurs inthe motor. Itis well known that even the lightest naphthas or hydrocarbons formcarbon deposits in the -motor.

The addition of nitrophenolahd ether is .20 ethyl-ether, together withvarious hydrocarbons, such as naphtha, petroleum either and ligroin. Asa specific example'of the proportions that may be employed, and withoutlimiting the invention, the following may 5 be given as an illustration:

. Per cent.

Trinitrophenol 2 Ethyl-ether L 3 'Naphtha 20 Petroleum-ether 60 LigroinThis mixture is made by mixing the ma terials together. This mixture isthen added to the naphtha or gasoline fuel to be employed in the motorby adding four and onehalf percent per volume of this mixture to thenaphtha or gasoline to be employed for the motor.

The above description is merely illustrative of the best manner ofcarryingvout my. invention, and not limiting the invention which I claimto be:

1. An addition agent adapted tobe added to gasoline motor fuels and thelike comprising'trinitrophenol 2%, ethyl ether 3%, rliiaphtha petroleumether 60%, ligroin,

2. An addition'agent adapted to be added to gasoline motor fuels and thelike comprising about 2 parts trinitrophenol and,about 3 parts ethylether. I V

3. An addition agent adapted to-be added to gasoline motor fuels and thelike compris ing about -2 parts, nitrophenols, about 3 parts ether andabout 95 parts volatile hy- 55 drocarbons.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
